Definitions

  • the present invention relates to wireless communications. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel and improved searcher for detecting page messages in spread spectrum communications.
  • the '177 searcher typically works in combination with a set of finger elements and decoder placed on a single integrated circuit. Together, the components perform the processing necessary for CDMA communications and page monitoring. For example, to receive a CDMA signal the searcher does pilot channel searching at various offsets in time. Once a pilot channel is detected, the finger elements are activated to process an associated data channel, such as a paging channel or a traffic channel. To perform the searching and the signal processing, the searcher and finger elements receive samples generated in response to RF signals received by the subscriber unit. The samples are typically generated by an RF/IF unit within the mobile phone or subscriber unit.
  • WO 97/20446 describes a method for detecting messages transmitted over a communication channel such as a paging channel.
  • the method allows for the detection of data contained in transmitted messages (e.g. page messages) at a selected early point in the receiving and decoding process.
  • a received data vector RDV
  • the receiver can determine whether the received message contains relevant data which should be fully decoded or irrelevant data which does not need to be fully decoded.
  • the present invention is a novel and improved method for performing paging.
  • a searcher is used to detect spread spectrum signals. Samples of received RF signals are stored in a sample buffer. During standby mode, the samples are gathered during paging slots assigned to the mobile. A set of searches are performed on the samples, and if pilot signals are detected additional demodulation is performed to detect paging messages. The resulting set of demodulation data may be combined to increase detection. After a page message has been detected, additional demodulation resources may be activated to processes more complete page messages, or other information channels.
  • the searcher includes a demodulator to perform quick page detection without the use of finger elements to reduce idle mode power consumption.
  • a novel and improved method and apparatus for detecting paging messages is described.
  • the exemplary embodiment described herein is set forth in the context of the digital cellular telephone system. While use within this context is advantageous, different embodiments of the invention may be incorporated in different environments or configurations.
  • the various systems described herein may be formed using software-controlled processors, integrated circuits, or discrete logic, however, implementation in an integrated circuit is preferred.
  • the data, instructions, commands, information, signals, symbols and chips that may be referenced throughout the application are advantageously represented by voltages, currents, electromagnetic waves, magnetic fields or particles, optical fields or particles, or a combination thereof.
  • the blocks shown in each block diagram may represent hardware or method steps.
  • Fig. 1 is a highly simplified block diagram of a cellular telephone system configured in accordance with the use of present invention.
  • Mobile telephones and other communication systems (subscriber units) 10 are located among base stations 12, which are coupled to base station controller (BSC) 14.
  • BSC base station controller
  • Mobile switching center MSC 16 connects BSC 14 to the public switch telephone network (PSTN) 18.
  • PSTN public switch telephone network
  • a subscriber unit 10 can simultaneously interface with two base stations 12 in soft handoff.
  • a system and method for operating a cellular telephone using CDMA techniques is described in US patent 5,103,459 entitled “System and Method for Generating Signal Waveforms in a CDMA Cellular Telephone System” assigned to the assignee of the present invention ('459 patent).
  • the system of the '459 patent is configured substantially in accordance with the use of the IS-95 over the air interface standard.
  • paging of a subscriber unit 10 is performed substantially in accordance with the paging method described in US patent applications serial number 08/865,650, and 08/890,355 both entitled "Dual Channel Slotted Paging" assigned to the assignee of the present invention (the dual channel paging applications).
  • the use of a quick paging message (quick page) transmitted over a reduced encoding channel is described.
  • One or more quick pages are transmitted before the full page message (full page) to allow a subscriber unit to reduce page monitoring time, and therefore reduce standby power consumption. If the subscriber unit does not receive a positive quick page, then it does not monitor for the full page thereby reducing idle mode power consumption.
  • Fig. 2 is a block diagram of a demodulator used for processing CDMA signals in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
  • Receive (Rx) samples are generated by RF/IF system 190 and antenna system 192, which receive RF signals, filter, downconvert and digitize the RF signals to baseband.
  • the samples are supplied to mux 202 and sample RAM 204.
  • the output of mux 202 is supplied to searcher unit 206 and finger elements 208, which are coupled to control unit 210.
  • Combiner 212 couples decoder 214 to finger elements 208.
  • control unit 210 is a microprocessor controlled by software, and may be located on the same integrated circuit or on a separate integrated circuit.
  • receive samples are stored in sample RAM 200 and applied to mux 202.
  • Mux 202 supplies either real time samples or the stored sample to searcher unit 206 and finger elements 208.
  • Control unit 210 configures finger elements 208 to perform demodulation at different time offsets based on search results from searcher unit 206 .
  • the results of the demodulation are combined and passed to decoder 214, which outputs the data.
  • the searching performed by searcher 208 uses non-coherent demodulation of the pilot channel to test timing hypotheses corresponding to various sectors, base stations and multi-paths, while the demodulation performed by finger elements 208 is performed via coherent demodulation of the data channel.
  • Non-coherent demodulation does not require carrier phase information, but detects signal energy rather than the data contained in the signal (for certain waveform types).
  • Coherent demodulation requires phase information, and therefore more information about the signal, but the data transmitted on the signal can be determined.
  • the term demodulation alone refers to coherent demodulation
  • searching refers to non-coherent demodulation.
  • despreading is performed by multiplying the received samples with the complex conjugate of the PN sequence and assigned Walsh function at a single timing hypothesis and digitally filtering the resulting samples, often with an integrate and dump accumulator circuit.
  • an enhanced searcher performs both pilot channel searching and demodulation of a paging channel on the samples stored in sample RAM.
  • the demodulation and searching can be performed at various time offsets, and the results of the demodulation are combined to determine if a page message was received.
  • the page channel demodulated by searcher is similar to the quick paging channel described in the dual channel paging applications referenced above.
  • the message duration is small for quick paging (128 or 256 PN chips at 1.2288 Mcps is 104 or 208 microseconds) and the necessary de-skew is small, (about 100-400 microseconds) the required received samples can be readily buffered and processed "off-line" to save power.
  • Fig. 3 is a flow chart illustrating the operation of the demodulator of Fig. 2 during idle mode in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
  • Idle mode is the state where the subscriber unit is powered up but not making a call.
  • the subscriber unit monitors for paging messages directed to it.
  • the paging message may indicate an incoming communication or telephone call.
  • the invention is described in the context of a two channel paging system as described in the dual channel paging applications.
  • the subscriber unit collects and stores received samples at step 300 during the quick paging slot assigned to it.
  • the collection is performed by activating the RF/IF unit 190, storing the samples in the sample RAM, and then deactivating the RF/IF system 190.
  • the subscriber unit collects samples for a longer duration than that of a single quick paging slot so that multiple time offset signals are stored within the set of receive samples.
  • searcher unit 206 performs pilot searching on the stored samples at various time offsets. Additionally, pilot searching may be performed for different signals. For example, searching may be performed for signals from different base stations which use different, or differently offset, pilot codes. When a local maxima is detected above a certain threshold, and the combine function is enabled for the particular search window, the resulting hypothesis is demodulated and combined. Once all the hypotheses in a search list have been completed, the step is done.
  • sample RAM 204 it is preferable to have sample RAM 204 large enough to cover the time offset of a set of multipath signals.
  • sample RAM 204 it is preferable to have sample RAM 204 large enough to cover the time offset of a set of multipath signals.
  • the different pilots are detected.
  • the same set of samples may be demodulated at different offsets to process quick pages. While a quick page channel designed for coherent signaling provides better performance, and therefore is preferred in many instances.
  • a quick paging system may be designed for non-coherent signaling as well.
  • searcher 206 is switched to demodulation mode, and the paging channel associated with each signal detected during search mode is demodulated to determine if a quick page has been received.
  • the quick pages are processed by performing coherent demodulation on the set of paging channels corresponding to the set of pilot channels detected during searching.
  • the quick page channel is demodulated within the searcher after the searching is performed.
  • Each demodulation is performed at a particular offset within the samples, and the resulting set of demodulation soft decision data is diversity combined using an accumulator within searcher 206.
  • step 308 the combined demodulation data is examined to determined if a positive quick page has been received (i.e. one indicating the following full paging message may be directed to this subscriber unit 10). If not, the subscriber unit returns to step 300. If so, the finger elements 208, decoder 214 and RF/IF unit 190 are activated at step 310, and the full page processed at step 312. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the subscriber unit continues to search the samples for other pilots to find new signals to process when the next paging slot occurs. Additionally, if the quick paging channel was not received with sufficient quality, then step 310 is performed anyway to ensure that a full-page message is not missed.
  • the quick paging channel can be monitored without having to activate finger elements until a positive quick page is received.
  • most quick page messages will be negative, indicating no call or message is pending.
  • the time the finger elements 208 and other circuitry are activated is significantly reduced. Therefore, reducing the circuitry used to perform quick page channel monitoring increases the standby time of the subscriber unit 10.
  • This reduction in circuitry is accomplished by taking advantage of the reduced coding level of the quick paging channel and quick page message and storing receive samples for processing.
  • This reduced coding allows the demodulation of the quick paging channel to be performed with a limited amount of demodulation functionality, and therefore with limited additional complexity in the searcher.
  • the use of sample RAM 204 allows multiple time offset demodulation to be performed using a single demodulation engine within searcher 206, which further reduces the circuitry necessary to monitor for paging messages.
  • the quick paging channel is an uncoded BPSK or OOK bit sent once or twice.
  • the time that the RF/IF unit 190 operates during each page cycle is reduced by storing the samples when they are generated. Once the samples are stored, subscriber unit deactivates the RF/IF unit to conserve power, and searches the samples repeatedly at different offsets or different pilot signals, or both, using only the digital circuitry.
  • the described embodiment of the invention provides performance enhancements as well as improved idle mode power consumption.
  • the performance of the demodulation is improved. This is because the best signals as measured by the pilot channel searching will be the best signals for paging channel demodulation because the set of samples are the same.
  • searching is performed on a first set of samples and the results of that searching are used to determine how to demodulate paging channels in a second set of samples. While the correspondence between the searching results and paging channel quality is typically reasonable if the time span between the two events is small any difference in the channel between the search and demodulation is virtually eliminated when compared to fading channel decorrelation time by conducting searching and demodulation on the same samples.
  • Fig. 4 is a block diagram of searcher 206 when configured in accordance of one embodiment of the invention.
  • the in-phase and quadrature phase samples are read from sample RAM 204 (Fig. 2) and despread by QPSK despreader 402 using a PN code from PN code generator 404, where the PN code is comprised of an in-phase portion (PNI) and a quadrature phase portion (PNQ).
  • the resulting in-phase and quadrature phase components from QPSK despreader 402 are applied to multipliers 406a - d. Processing after the sample RAM may happen at arbitrary clock frequencies, such as 19 MHz unrelated to the original chip rate.
  • Walsh code generators 408 and 410 generate the pilot channel Walsh code which is applied to multipliers 406a - 406d.
  • Multipliers 406a - 406d and accumulators 408a - 408d operate together to decover the despread samples with the pilot Walsh code from Pilot Walsh code generator 408.
  • QPSK despreader and WALSH multiply may occur in order, or integrated as a single operation for equivalent results.
  • the decovered pilot samples from accumulators 408a and 408b are applied to multipliers 420 twice: once directly and once via multiplexers 423 .
  • the result is that the decovered pilot samples are squared, and the squared outputs are summed by summer 422 .
  • the dot product of the decovered pilot data is calculated, and therefore the correlation energy of the pilot channel at the current offset.
  • the decovered pilot samples from accumulators 408c and 408d are applied to square circuits 410 the outputs of which are summed by summer 412.
  • square circuits 410 and summer 412 act to calculate the dot product of the decover pilot data with itself, and therefore the correlation energy of the pilot channel at the current offset.
  • the dot products from summers 412 and 422 are received by received by local maxima calculator 414.
  • Local maxima calculator 414 determines the most likely offset, or offsets, from a set of offsets (or hypothesis) attempted by the searcher based on the correlation energy. For example, local max calculator 414 may save the local largest energy in a set of oversampled correlation energies in order to isolate the sample nearest the true offset.
  • Multipliers 406a and 406b and accumulators 408a and 408b operate together to decover the despread samples with the quick paging Walsh code from quick page Walsh code generator.
  • the set of offsets are generated as the timing of the PN and Walsh codes are adjusted relative to the samples.
  • the PN and Walsh codes are adjusted in small increments around particular search regions.
  • the code generators are configured by a control system which also defines the search regions with a start offset and a finish offset.
  • the control system may be a microprocessor or digital signal processor controlled by software stored in memory.
  • N-max tracker 416 collects the set of N largest correlation energies for the different search regions.
  • N is an integer, preferably in the range 4 to 16.
  • the use of other criteria for collecting search results, such as diversity of signal source, is consistent with the use of the invention.
  • the resulting set of correlation energies and associated offsets (search results) are reported to the control system.
  • the control system configures the searcher to perform demodulation on the paging channel for a set of signals and offsets based on the search results.
  • Walsh generator 410 is configured to generate the paging channel Walsh code
  • multiplexers 423 are configured to apply the output of accumulators 408c and 408d to multipliers 420.
  • accumulators 408a and 408b are configured to integrate exactly over the bit duration.
  • the control system configures the PN generator and Walsh generators at the particular offset, and the samples are demodulated again.
  • the quick paging channel decovered samples from accumulators 408a and 408b are applied to multipliers 420. Additionally, the pilot channel decovered samples are applied to multipliers 420 via muxes 423.
  • the outputs of multipliers 420 are added by adder 422, and the resulting projected quick paging channel soft decision data is received by latches 424.
  • the dot product recovers the data that is in-phase with the pilots & weights it for combining.
  • the output of latches 424 is then received by combiner accumulator 426. For each signal demodulated, accumulator 426 adds in the demodulation results.
  • the energy from the decovered pilot channel data is calculated again by performing a dot product operation, and the resulting pilot energy is accumulated for each signal by accumulator 426.
  • the accumulated pilot energy is forwarded to the control system.
  • the control system determines whether to rely on the quick paging data based on the accumulated pilot energy. If the accumulated pilot energy is above a certain threshold, then the quick paging channel results are relied on. Otherwise, then next quick page slot is processed, or the full paging channel is processed. As noted above, using the same samples to processing the pilot and paging channels ensures that the channel is the same for the two processings, which improves demodulation performance.
